question 79

Multiple Choice

Binding energy between an enzyme and a substrate contributes to catalysis in which way?

• A) Binding energy provides the enzyme specificity for the substrate.
• B) Binding energy contributions allow for entropy reduction in the substrate-enzyme complex.
• C) Binding energy compensates for energy changes as a result of desolvation of the substrate.
• D) Binding energy contributes to the process of induced fit between the substrate and the enzyme.
• E) All of the answers are correct.

Definitions:

AVC Curve

Represents the average variable cost of production plotted against the quantity of output, showing how variable costs per unit change with changes in output.

MC Curve

Short for Marginal Cost Curve, it represents the change in total cost that arises when the quantity produced is incremented by one unit.

Marginal Cost

The increase in cost that arises from producing one additional unit of a good or service.

Average Total Cost

The total cost of production divided by the total quantity produced, indicating the average cost per unit of output.
